A large number of Union Council chairmen and councillors, belonging to the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), staged a demonstration in front of the city council, on Monday, against water shortage and other crises in the megalopolis; chanting slogans against the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) government in Sindh, as well as the city mayor, over their failure in addressing the long standing issues of the city.
Leader of the opposition in the city council, Saifuddin Advocate, addressed the demonstration, stating that the JI has decided to take to the streets, with no respite in agitation until and unless Karachi's rights are granted. He added that the final phase of the Karachi Rights Movement will commence after Eidul Adha, with the aim to topple the PPP government with the help of the Karachiites.

Police Martyrs' Day: Bilawal pays tribute to police force martyrs

KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari paid rich tribute to the brave sons and daughters of the police forces who laid down their lives in the line of duty, as the nation observes National Police Martyrs' Day on August 04. According to a press release issued by the Media Cell Bilawal House here on Sunday, Chairman PPP said that each police martyr is a symbol of valour and a reminder of the heavy price we pay for peace. 'The martyrs of our police are the silent sentinels of peace who made the ultimate sacrifice so that our people could live without fear,' he said in his message on Martyr's Day. He lauded the services and sacrifices of the police across all provinces, saying that from battling terrorism to combating street crime, Pakistan's police force has remained steadfast in its duty — often at great personal cost. Bilawal reiterated the PPP's firm commitment to the welfare of the families of police martyrs and to ensuring that their sacrifices are honoured through meaningful recognition and institutional support. 'As we bow our heads in remembrance, let us resolve to build a society worthy of their sacrifice — one rooted in justice, peace, and dignity for all,' he added.
